About Us

TRAINING SOLUTIONS, Inc. (TSI) was founded in 1995 by C. Michael Ferraro. After 20+ years in management training positions, Ferraro decided to start his own training company to satisfy his entrepreneurial spirit. He was committed to provide only high-quality products, programs and services to a wide variety of organizations. In 1999, Sharon (his wife) joined him as a full-time partner.

Michael and Sharon believe in providing high quality customer service to all. They provide virtual and classroom training as well as e-learning programs, videos and online assessments. Training Solutions offer many programs that have a facilitator’s kit available for those who would like to conduct the training internally. The Ferraros take time with clients to make sure they are knowledgeable and comfortable if they are to do the facilitation themselves. If you need customization in virtual/classroom presentations, this can also be done.

The Ferraros were married in 1983, started Training Solutions in 1995, and then formed a family foundation with their daughter in 2010 (www.BiteMeCancer.org). Their businesses are labors of love, so you can trust them to do and give their best. When Training Solutions was formed in September 1995, Michael believed it was important to be connected in his local chambers. He began a series of volunteer and leadership positions among a variety of local business chambers as well as a local business club (The Tower Club) and a local technology membership organization (Northern Virginia Technology Council). Both Ferraros also became involved with Leadership Fairfax, graduating from the program and taking on leadership positions after graduation. (Details are in their bios on the website.)
